Ross and Heenan worked together at WrestleMania IX and King of the Ring '93, in a three-man team with Randy Savage. Good team actually. This was back in the day before he was "good ole J.R., cowboy hat-wearing BAH GOD hype machine".

Also if you thought Hennig was a good commentator in 1996, you should have heard him in 1991/92. He was great back then.... by 1996 he was phoning it in. Check out his big return at Survivor Series 1995. He clearly had done no research or preparation and likely hadn't watched any WWE the whole time he was away. He didn't know who most of the roster were, what their issues were, and seemed confused and struggled for the whole show.

Michael Hayes was always a good commentator. I really liked the early days of Dok Hendrix (1995/96). He was the only good thing about KOTR '95.

And as successful as Raven has been as a dark, brooding character, I can't wait until he retires. Then, he can once again become the jovial buffoon commentator he played in the early 90s in PNW and WWE. The next Bobby Heenan of the booth, if he ever decides to give it another go.

If you wanna hear how good Raven/Johnny Polo was, check out his teaming with Gorilla Monsoon in this match from 1993. The match sucks, but the announcing is great.

"Talk about guys with agility, this man certainly has that...."
"Paul Bearer??"
"Not Paul Bearer, The Undertaker!"
"I was gonna say!"
"And the ominous urn."
"For a minute there I thought you'd flipped your ever-loving marbles, Gorilla"


I think the Gorilla must have been a real easy guy to work with as a comedy heel. He just fed Ventura, Heenan and Polo lines all the time, speaking in soundbites. There'll never be another Gorilla.

I didn't know that Tony Chimel was employed by WWE back then.

Oh and LOL @ Polo's comment about Joey Marella

I don't think that was Chimel, I think that was guy called Bill Anderson, working under the name Bill Dunn.

I tell a lie, it was Chimel. Just saw a longer version which showed Crush's entrance.

It's funny how SummerSlam '91 had such a memorable undercard, but the main event was one of the worst PPV headliners I've ever seen. It's a formula that WCW would use for years.

One thing I have always said about Vince on commentary... he could make ANY match sound exciting. He could make Diesel vs Barry Horowitz seem like the most incredible match he has ever seen.

And not in a Schiavone hype-overkill style, but rather a genuine enthusiasm and excitement.
